About the author

Chris’s sweet spot lives at the intersection of supporting professionals’ personal growth and challenging business leaders and teams to become more conscious, and on purpose for the sake of cultivating strong business and community leaders, healthy workplaces, and engaged, thriving communities.

To that end, she’s committed to extending the transformational work of embodied leadership to those committed to creating the future.

When leaders and teams can take new actions, under pressure, at least 80% of the time, they’ve developed the competency to navigate the waters of complexity more effectively, show compassion, and inspire the creation of innovative solutions for all stakeholders.

In addition to her doctoral work in psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Chicago, where she’s taught in the Executive and Professional Development Program, she’s deeply informed by ongoing training and practice in mindfulness (The Center for Mindfulness--25+ years), somatic leadership (Zen Leadership, Leadership Embodiment, Strozzi--15+ years), and ontological learning (New Ventures West, Pluralistic Networks--18 + years).

The Leadership Pause

Navigating the Future with Clarity, Focus & Empathy

The Leadership Pause teaches us to lead consciously, on purpose, and powerfully to create a new future for all. As businesses and leaders turn toward this purpose and meaning, and away from a sole focus on profit, it will depend upon the leader's ability to pause, listen, and take mindfully informed action in order to succeed.

Synopsis

Given our lives today--constant disruption, rising fear and anxiety, increased noise and pressure all resulting in a lack of clarity and focus--it’s clear that conventional leadership practices are no longer adequate to prepare leaders of the future to address today’s complex challenges.

While leaders have always faced uncertainty, the global, interconnected reach and scale are unprecedented.

As businesses are being challenged to turn toward purpose and meaning, and away from a sole focus on profit, we need attentive, skillful leaders at all levels of business to step up, step in and step out to move beyond reactivity to the responsiveness required to create a new future.

Crafting an inspiring vision for the future and bringing people along with you is what an authentic, conscious leader does by:

✔️Leveraging attention and focus to get a read on life’s unfolding, a
strategic view and to direct energy to power right action
✔️Embedding purpose in all their work, increasing engagement
✔️Learning from their emotions (no longer reactively ruled by them)
to become responsive and clear in decision-making
✔️Shaping and committing to resilient, caring, diverse work cultures
to create a just, equitable society.

What if there were a single practice that would significantly maximize your impact?

What if it were so simple, the science and results so compelling, that the only reason not to put it into practice would be an attachment to worn-out methods of leading?

You’ll find that simple practice in The Leadership Pause, where you’ll learn shortcuts for the long haul toward developing embodied leadership.

Committing to and cultivating this practice in your day-to-day life and leadership will sharpen your attention, deepen your presence, and supercharge your leadership to collaborate and coordinate effective action for the greatest impact.

This book shows you how. It answers 3 questions:

✔️What about pausing makes it so essential to conscious leadership?
✔️How will implementing pausing solve your biggest struggles?
✔️What results might be possible if pausing to listen deeply informed
your actions?

The Leadership Pause shows you the way to generating and making your greatest contribution. And it does so in a way that builds your resilience and generates energy.

This way of leading will teach you practices to reduce your level of stress, declutter your thinking process, and widen your perspective to include all the possibilities available to you.

Each chapter of the book is organized around common concerns facing professionals and leaders. You will see them yourself in stories shared, and have the opportunity to explore questions and new practices at the end of each chapter.

This book is rooted in the latest in adult developmental theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and the science of somatics, mindfulness practice, and best practices of conscious business.

1. Present: Our Current Present
2. Pause into the Moment: What is Pause?
3. Pressure: Catch Yourself Being Yourself
4. Presence: Tap Your Power
5. Passion & Purpose: What Do You Love?
6. Perspective: Let Go of What You Think You Know
7. Purposeful Practice: Step into the Stream
8. Pacing & Pivoting: Entering & Facing Fully
9. People: Are You Willing to Go First?
10. Let Life Fill You Up

Advance praise

Thoughts from those who've worked with Chris in her role as Executive Coach & Consultant

"Chris helped us create a future for the company rather than allowing us to remain in our comfort zone by going beyond typical methods to focus on purpose, values, mindfulness."

--Dave Mooney, CEO Alliant Credit Union

"Chris is a leading voice in the application of mindful embodiment to leadership development and performance. Her take on the critical value of pausing, powerful conversations, and promise-based leadership deserves a wide and engaged audience. Leaders who adopt the principles and practices Dr. Johnson shares will be rewarded with greater resilience and effectiveness. "

-- Amanda Blake, author, Your Body is Your Brain

“Chris is an extremely creative thinker, with an incredible capacity for continual learning and growth. Her expert guidance helped me incorporate mindfulness in my daily life, providing focus and clarity. She’s a thoughtful and smart–she brings a wealth of knowledge and insight into all her projects.”

--Nancy, Career Management Coach, Columbia Business School

"At first, ‘mindfulness’ sounded to me like a squishy, overused synonym for group hugs and undisciplined leadership. I couldn’t have been more wrong. I’m very thankful that I was open-minded enough to listen, read, and learn about the science behind Chris’ Core Presence Coaching™ process that is based on mindfulness practices."

--Nick Blawat, VP Strategy, US Foods

"At ‘Celebrating Life. Celebrating Uncertainty: Mindfulness Skills for Success’ an event for our nursing leaders, I learned how mindfulness can help me deal with & face conflict. What an eye-opener! And, that it can be developed as a daily practice. Practice, practice, practice!"

--Tess Callanta,  RN, Rush Copley Medical Center

1106 Design, LLC logo 1106 Design, LLC

Dear Author,

You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.

1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”

We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.

If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.

1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org, where you can find a "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies.

How can we serve you today?

    Love it. Can't wait to read. In my own work I often come back to this quote. “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” Can't wait to learn from the depth of your experience and research with this. The pause is so so so important.

    Hi Chris,

    Just bought hard and soft copies of your book. Hope you get to your magic number! Love your topic - I've used the Pause a lot in my coaching (and my life!) and it is indeed so simple yet not easy. Best of luck and best wishes. And I got roped into golf with my husband and friends this afternoon, so I cannot join the group gathering. I'll keep trying! Best, Ann Fisher
